I currently have a Ti4200 with only a VGA connector. I'm about to purchase a LCD and would like to take advantage of DVI. What would be a good AGP card with DVI that would give me at least as good a 3D/2D performance as my dated Ti4200. I don't play a lot of games, but I would like to be able to play MoH and Half-Life 2 as I do now.

Normally I upgrade when the card I want falls into the $200 range, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on this since I will be upgrading to a PCI-express system later this year.

So, do I have any options for <$100? I would prefer NVidia based cards, but other suggestions are welcome.

Should also have not problem with being used with the Dell 2005FPW monitor.

Thanks!
 
If you play Half-Life 2, you would be better off with an ATI card. I would nab a used 9800pro or 6600gt, shouldn't be more than $80.
 
I forgot about buying used. I may just try to find a used ti4200 w/DVI for cheap then.

Are there any particular manufacturers of the above recommendations that are quieter than the others?

Thanks.
